You may think that you're slightly perverted if you're attracted to leather or rubber and enjoy being tied up by someone dressed as a nun. However, you're an absolute saint when compared to people who have one of the 15 strange fetishes that's listed here. Read them at your peril, as you may indeed be more perverted than the rest of us everyday perverts.

1. Actirasty - when the sun turns you on

This is an erotic attraction to the sun. Those individuals who experience this fetish not only enjoy being naked in sunlight but also find that sunlight on their skin gives them a sexual sensation. For some individuals, it may even lead to orgasm. This fetish is probably not that common in the United Kingdom, where frequent rain means that those with Acitrasty as a fetish would have to make do with sun lamps. The fetish can result in people being arrested for their naturist behaviour in public places.
 

2. Chasmophilia

Another one in our list of strange fetishes is arousal to caves. Some chasmophiles are even turned on by valleys and indentations in the landscape. Although a cave may look like an orifice, the chasmophile would need a sexual organ of geological proportions to make the most of the Grand Canyon, for example. Naturally, people with this fetish enjoy hobbies such as caving and hiking to find new caves and crevices to look at and enjoy.

Being turned on by tickling is one of the strange fetishes

 

3. Frotteurism - one of the more common strange fetishes

The fetish of gaining arousal to rubbing up against an individual is not uncommon. It's popular in Japan, where the tight packing of subway trains means that there is every opportunity for rubbing. This fetish has even produced a whole sub-culture in Japan devoted to this activity. Japanese transport police have an entire unit involved in stopping people with this fetish from practising it on public transport. However, some Japanese prostitutes offer a service where, for a fee, a client can ‘grope’ them in a fake train carriage.
 

4. Katoptronophilia

Katoptronophilia is a fetish where people get off by having sex in front of mirrors. This, like frotteurism, is not that uncommon, but it can get to the stage where sufferers find it impossible to achieve orgasm unless they are in front of a mirror. The preponderance of this fetish may explain why mirrors are such a common bedroom item.
 

5. Knismolagnia

Involves being tickled to achieve sexual pleasure. The exponents of this fetish believe that the whole body is an erogenous zone and that tickling, even of the feet, can lead to a powerful climax. There is a tickling subculture making videos of people receiving ‘tickle torture’', and is becoming a more mainstream fetish.
 

6. Nasolingus - a nosejob, anyone? 

Means arousal achieved by sucking on a person’s nose. This may seem quite an unsanitary type of fetish, but the famous psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud was trained by an analyst who considered that the nose was a site of sexual tension. However, the nose is not usually considered to be erotic by Freud.

7. Nebulophilia

Weirdly, this is sexual arousal to fog! Despite its use in 1980s pop videos to give a sultry and sexual atmosphere, there is very little sexy that the average person finds about fog. The big advantage of this fetish is that no one can see what you are doing while you are getting off on when in the fog. This is a very uncommon fetish, with only a handful of exponents.
 

8. Objectophilia

Objectophilia is sexual arousal caused by an inanimate object. After this brief explanation, you wouldn't expect it on our list of strange fetishes, but it gets better: people who have this fetish have been known to fall in love with buildings and monuments. One woman even married the Eiffel Tower, as she believed that she was in love with this object. The marriage was not technically legal in French law. Her name was Erika Eiffel.

9. Partialism

This is a very particular fetish which involves becoming stimulated by an unusual, but specific, part of the body. For example, the ankles, wrist or the knee, are parts of the body which are frequently mentioned in conjunction with this fetish. The foot fetish, of course, a common item of fetishism, making this a fetish that many of us can identify with.
 

10. Psellismophilia

Sexual arousal caused by stuttering. This is a particular fetish which involves individuals seeking out people who are afflicted by this. It must be tough for the Psellismophile to have a quick conversation about sex with the object of their desire.
 

11. Pubephilia - for lovers of the bush

This one is sexual excitement from pubic hair. Even though this seems to be a well-established fetish, people who have this fetish are only attracted to pubic hair and not the genitals. The pubic hair fetish involves fantasies about people who have pubic hair that grows to the ground! Some individuals even pay for pubic hair to be sent to them through the post.
 

12. Pygophilia

Arousal to the buttocks. As above, this would seem to be a common fetish, and the buttocks are an erogenous zone. However, the sole object of affection is only the buttocks, which mean finding a partner who goes along with this fetish is very difficult. Gym pants are a godsend for exponents of this particular fetish.
 

13. Savantophilia

Fetishists would find Dustin Hoffman’s character in Rain Man to be a fantasy pin-up as they are attracted to people who have some form of cognitive impairment or difficulty. This is one of the top strange fetishes.
 

14. Stygiophilia

If you're a keen nasophile than you may also wish to develop this particular fetish, as it involves arousal from the thought of going to hell, which you are probably going to do for sucking on stranger’s noses. People with this fetish are turned on by the idea of fire, brimstone and demons. This is, unsurprisingly, a common fetish in sects and cults.

One of the strange fetishes is about going to hell.

 

15. Titillagnia

Those people who have this fetish should get on well with those who identify with Knismolagnia (a fetish for being tickled) as they have a fetish for tickling others. This is truly a match made in heaven.


As the above list shows, human diversity is truly a wonderful thing, and we should celebrate the vast array of strange fetishes that people have. Between consenting adults, fetishes can be fun, and introduce a whole new world of experimentation to our everyday lives. And believe us this list of strange fetishes could go on forever.

I thought so too. I have a huge fat fetish! I find fat people especially men to look so big and powerful and well fed it turns me on. All the wobbly ripply flab! I also have the opposite. I also have a skinny fetish but for opposite reasons. I find them weak and puny and inferior and it arouses my sadistic, dominant side. I always wanted to be fat so I'd look more dominant and powerful and I would squish my scrawny sub 

I love being squished and overpowered :)

I have a fat fetish especially toward fat men. I find fat people to look big, powerful and imposing. It feeds into my dom sub fantasy and a fat dom is hot. I wanted to be fat so I would look more powerful. The idea that they are way more privileged than a sub slave who'd be malnourished and skinny is so hot. They have more riches to spend on abundnened food and indulge to the point of overhanging bellies and love handles and bulging thicc thighs turns me on. The bit that makes me the most hot is the ripply wobbly flabby parts. I love all fatties but prefer softer and wobblier especially an overhanging belly! Euwlay I have a skinny fetish but for the opposite reason of them looking more deprived, weak and puny and would make better subs/slaves! 

Another of my fetishes involves handsome men in suits. Any man in a suit looks 100 times better! That or 1700s attire! Anything fancy. It shows the person wearing the suit is powerful, rich and successful. Very much dom material. 

As a dominant trans male I try to wear suits as much as I can as I love how I look in them

It's interesting how if someone prefers blondes that's just a preference, whilst if you prefer a large or fat partner it's often labelled as a fetish or a kink. I'm skinny phobic!

Along the same lines, in terms of getting sexually aroused and reaching orgasm! But a different type of bubble/s. I get Hot! And turned on by watching, specifically guys/men, since I am straight. Watching them blow BIG bubbles with bubble gum! The bigger the bubble the stronger and harder the turn on!!!

Seems my very strange fetish of being scrubbed good in a bath is missing from this list. I think I am the only person with this weird fetish of being scrubbed good. I’m also aroused by the sight of a big sudsy bubble bath and suds, I suppose anticipating getting in and being scrubbed.

I'm actually intrigued as to what is used to guage whether a fetish could be viewed as being "strange" as opposed to not being - what is the criteria? Some people may argue that any fetish could be called "strange" by the very definition of the word. On the other hand, I read the list & the meanings & explanations, & personally thought that the majority of them were not "strange" in anyway at all. Some were obviously rarer than others, some a little more unusual, but we're any of them truly "strange" as such - indeed, can any fetish really be? Maybe to someone with no connection to the world of kink or fetishism, perhaps, but then I guess even the more common ones would appear that way to them. However, to those for whom it Is a thing, & to anyone in this community, is it not rather just another part, another aspect, another perception, of life's rich tapestry.

being on receiving end of 3,4 & 5 definitely and Stygiophyllia is a real big aspect of my psyche, probably the thought that no matter how severe the torture in Hell it won't permanently kill me so the demons can keep torturing me again and again because I'll recover for the next time, through in a sexual element and its perfect for a masochist

I once played out a roleplay story about the Hell fetish. My play partner ended up in Hell after death, and was subsequently (sexually) tortured by the demons.
